The mature Gulley View vineyard, on red loamy clay over limestone, historically supplied Leo Buring, maker of countless outstanding Rieslings in the past. The fruit is hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, fermented with a mix of indigenous and inoculated yeast and raised in stainless tanks. Crammed with mouth filling texture, stone fruit and apple notes and waterfall fresh acidity, this wine is not at all typically Clare in style; Col halts the ferment with around 7-8g/l residual sugar to balance the site's searing acidity. Just north of 200 cases of the scin Learn More

Single vineyard grenache from the Barossa. Whole bunches, basket pressing, 500l oak, bottled unfined.Crackerjack grenache. Brimful of both power and personality but without being overdone. Florals, blueberries, redcurrant and bitumen. A flash of sweet raspberry but blink-and-you-miss-it. Tannin flings wide through the wine. A beauty. Rated : 95 Points Winefront.com.auLearn More

"Single vineyard. Made by Purple Hands. Blend of shiraz, montepulciano and aglianico. All French oak, most of it old. Bowled over by balance. It’s bold with flavour but everything here feels so well placed. It tastes of licorice, redcurrant, black cherries and peppery herbs, and while there’s a velvety/creaminess to the texture oak is not a major flavour contributor. Tannin spreads and runs through a good deal of the wine, almost always a good sign. Learn More

"They do wonderful work with Sangiovese at Coriole. I’m tasting this alongside a few other Sangiovese, including a Brunello. An excellent release. It’s fresh but dense, cherry and hazelnut with a spray of dried herb, lovely bright flavour, a bit of chewy tannin, clean acidity, and a long fresh and savoury finish, that tannin cleaning up nicely. It’s classic Sangiovese, with a McLaren Vale twist. " Rated : 93 Points Winefront.com.auLearn More

Joelle ThomsonThis is a sauvignon blanc, not as we know it. Winemakers James Healy and Ivan Sutherland add creamy bells and whistles to this wine by fermenting their sauvignon grapes in oak barrels to soften savvy’s crisp green flavours – rather than adding a wood-derived taste. The result is an addictively tasty new take on Marlborough savvy.Fashion Quarterly Life, July 2016Learn More

Lusciously fruit driven, complex and delightfully unique, this Yarra Valley Chardonnay has loads of personality. There’s savoury smokiness and fruit flavours ahoy, including white stone fruits, apricot, apple, lime and lemon, all with a grapefruit backbone. Nutty flavours appear as the wine opens up giving it complexity and depth. This is a stylish wine hailing from a lineage of high achievers amongst wine judges.Learn More

This exciting new wine – LDR stands for Light Dry Red – is a 51/49 blend of pinot noir from the high altitude Primavera vineyard with shiraz/syrah from the Sexton vineyard. The inspiration is Beaujolais, with a nod to the Hunter. You could guzzle this. It’d be pretty sophisticated guzzling, admittedly, but the freshness and flow of it almost begs you to dive in for more. It’s all fruit, spice and nuts, a sweetness to the fruit and a smoky/clovey character to the spice, some red Learn More

2017 really was a sensational vintage! Good intermittent rainfall with cool to mild temperatures, and not a day over 40 degrees during the summer months marked 2017 out as a classic cool climate vintage. All varieties came in later than average, ripening at an unhurried pace in these ideal growing conditions, producing wines of incredible structure, detail and length.Learn More

The Sexton chardonnay vineyard was planted in 1997. It's at Gruyere in the lower valley. It turns out terrific chardonnay. This is rich, fine, seamless, quartz-like. It's complex in an integrated way; no bells, whistles or alarms but plenty going on regardless. Grapefruit and white peach, spent matches buried into the fruit, a smoky mineralogy. It turns the power on but is lo Learn More

...... From a fabulous vintage and at the hand of Steve Flamstead, one of Australia’s best winemakers. It has all the right credentials and yet it tastes even better than it sounds. It is just the ticket. Cherry plum, crushed dry leaves, the most blessed slow-crash of tannin, herbage and black pepper, all carried along on a river of silk. Eucalypt and clove characters play side roles. The sleeves of this wine are folded immaculately. It’s neat, tidy, contained. But it’s pure and beautiful; it sits in t Learn More

James Halliday 95 PointsLower Yarra Valley, with a layered texture on the palate that reflects its inherent power from its low yield. At this stage, has the greatest drive of the '16 Chardonnays, but whether it will retain that advantage is in the lap of the gods.James Halliday Wine Companion 2018, August 2017Learn More

It’s 100% Shiraz from the Stonewell sub-region of the Barossa. Classic Barossa Shiraz with layers of ripe sweet fruit, all plum, musk and chocolate, and just so seductive and so well done, it’s hard not to fall in love with the style. Ripe and thick chocolat-y tannin, a mouth-perfume and a smattering of earthiness. Succulent, balanced, and very long. Smell the velvet glove. Delightful. Rated : 95 Points Winefront.com.auLearn More

"Grenache is becoming, I think, increasingly more appreciated as one of Australia’s great grape varieties. Fabulous wine. It’s savoury and insistently tannic, not sweet, but full of juicy raspberry fruit. There’s a rose and spearmint perfume, peanuts and spice, medium bodied appeal, a sweep of shale-like tannin, subdued power, and a red fruited finish that cascades down the throat. A wine with a beating heart, and a throbbing pulse. Exemplary. It will age beautifully too." Rated : 95 Points Winefront.com.au

Mighty good chardonnay to be sitting just below the famous Art Series. A slightly more restrained expression than some previous wines. It has a refreshing purity and liveliness, with plenty of grapefruit and lightly charry oak. A creamy cashew touch adds some smooth texture into the middle palate.The West Australian, August 2017Campbell Mattinson 92 PointsIt’s pure chardonnay. It’s sunny, it’s flavoursome, it’s splashed with an appropriate level of oak and it remains fresh/frisky through the Learn More

Such an attractive wine, undeniably complex, but also with a gulpability that tugs you back into your glass. Saline, tangy, flinty-mineral acidity is a major player here, but there’s cereal and halva savouriness built around it. The perfume is all steely citrus and flint, grapefruit and green apple, so fresh feeling and appealing. There’s a luxurious length and lingering feel to the wine too. It’s tightly wound but supremely balanced above all. You can take all the fanciness here and lavish in it, Learn More

"There's going to be some very good white wines coming out of the Yarra Valley from vintage 2017, I think. Subdued wine, and while it has flavour, it's as much about texture as anything else. A little smokiness, lemon and peel, maybe white peach and almond, but quite winey rather than fruity. Fresh and crunchy acidity, green apple and lemon barley, a fine chalk dust texture and some milk powder stuff in there too. Finish has a particularly good amount of energy, and a gustatory crunch of pithy bitterness. Learn More

Great release this one. It has a sparkling clarity and energy ... raspberries and blackberries, cracked pepper, spice, and a distinct sort of warm bricks smell, but don’t mind me. It’s fine and fresh, with graphite tannin, and a cool spiced bramble fruited finish of finesse and solid length. Rated : 94 Points Winefront.com.auLearn More

"This is the Syrah I've been trying to make for 14 years," states Luke. As an opening statement from such a quietly spoken winemaker, it couldn't be any more definitive. "It's still light in it's feet and framed by crisp acids, but with loads of black pepper spice and the full gamut of red cherry through to sweet blackberry fruit." Luke also sights the whole bunches playing the key role in supporting the fruit with a bright, refreshing spine of tannins and dried herb complexity. In short, "...something I've been shooting for since I started making my own wine." Luke Lambert has every r Learn More

Dark red in colour, with a very complex nose with hints of blackberries and ripe cherries. This complexity carries over to the palate, rich, juicy and ribena-like. Magenta in colour, with a deep red hue. Mint, eucalypt and dark fruit aromas are evident on the nose, with a palate of plums and hints of fruitcake complexity give great length and backbone. Fruit, oak and tannin concentration will reward your patience.Learn More

Dark chocolate and cherries are at the heart of this shiraz. A sprinkling of spices including pepper and clove adds complexity to the delicious forest berry fruit flavours. This is an elegant wine with great structure and fine tannins. It's great drinking now but can easily be cellared for another 8-10 years for further fruit development. Pork belly, braised lamb shanks or barbecued steak would make an excellent food match.97 points & Trophy for Best Shiraz - Limestone Coast Wine Show 2017 2 Gold Medals - Melbourne Internation Learn More

"The old Polish Hill River. Always interesting to taste alongside Watervale. Same same, but quite different. Good intensity, and quite a bit of pith and rind to it’s make up. Lemon/lime, a powdery texture, lime rind and juice, a firm finish of fine length, with a bit of pucker. Really like this. It has an extra dimension of interest.

Lovely grenache. Excellent. It crackles with spice, it runs with fruit, it’s splashed with earth. Exactly as you’d like your grenache to be. Effortless, honest, pure and pretty. Ripped with tannin too. Everything as it should be. The Purple Hands winery is in the best of form." Rated : 94 Points Winefront.com.auLearn More

We take making this wine very seriously. The quality of the fruit is paramount, and ensuring that the sole purpose of that fruit is to make this wine. This rose is a highly perfumed wine with aromas of cherries, red summer fruits and some florals. The palate is juicy with flavours of red berries and Turkish delight. The finish is dry, clean, and crisp.Learn More
